Help for OCD:

As a parent I am completely lost fighting my son's disorder....none of it makes any sense. This book not only talks about tools to help but even gives you examples of dialogue. On top of that, it has validated all of my feelings as a Mom and I know I'm not alone. It is still hard to understand but I'm learning through this book. Great resource for parents.

YOU HAVE TO KEEP READING AND DO IT FOR THE CHILD:

I bought 3 OCD books from Amazon and so happy with all three of them. They are books that you have to keep going back to make sure you understand and doing what it tells you to do for the sake of your child.
OCD is not fun for children with it and they need our help to get them out of it if all possible.
Shop Amazon they have more good reading on the subject.

Excellent:

Excellent book for parents of a child (no matter the age) who is struggling with OCD. Gives good insight and tips for helping your child along the path to wellness.
